ON VACATION AND OUT OF TOWN...WAS DRIVING MY FORD TRUCK AND "LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT" APPEARED. PULLED IMMEDIATELY INTO FIRST PARKING LOT WALMART STORE. CHECKED FLUID AND FOUND RESERVOIR WAS LOW. WENT INTO WALMART TO PURCHASES BREAK FLUID. NONE AVAILABLE. PUSHED ON BRAKE TO START TRUCK AND BREAK WENT TO FLOOR. CALLED AAA AND TOW TRUCK TOOK MY TRUCK TO UNIVERSITY AUTO REPAIR. DIAGNOSIS WAS MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNCTION ALL ALL BREAK FLUID BACKED INTO BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY CUASING BREAKS TO FAIL.MY MAJOR CONCERN WAS I JUST PULLED AMTRIALER FROM PHX,AZ TO FLAGSTAFF,AZ ON INTERSTATE RT I-17. NOTE: THIS STREACH OF ROAD OVER 100 MILES IS MOUNTAINESS WITH 6% GRADES. IT HORRIFIES ME TO THINK IF I WOULD HAVE LOST BRAKES GOING UP AND DOWN THIS INTERSTATE FROM AND TO HOME. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A HORRIFIC FATILITY GIVEN THE FACT THAT FROM THE TIME THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AND MINTUES LATER I LOST MY BREAKS. EVEN AFTER HAVING MY TRUCK BRAKES REPAIRED, I WAS VERY NERVOUS DRING DOWN THE I-17 INTERSTATE BACK TO MY HOME IN PHOENIX. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE FEAR OF BREAKS FAILING. RESEARCHING,I HAVE FOUND MASTER CYLINDER AND BREAK BOOSTER ASSEMBLY FAILED ON PREVIOUS YEARS FOD F 150 MODELS. 2014 MODEL BEING THE MOST RECENT.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 FORD F150 THE BRAKES FAILED. FIRST THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON, I ADDED BRAKE FLUID AND EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE NORMAL. I WENT TO PULL MY TRUCK INTO MY GARAGE AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I ALMOST WENT THROUGH THE WALL INTO MY HOUSE. MY LOCAL SERVICE STATION STATED THAT THE FORD F150 2013 & 2014 HAD RECALLS ON THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER PUMP. MY MECHANIC STATED THAT THE REAR SEAL WENT AND CAUSED ALL THE FLUID TO LEAK OUT.

SERVICE BRAKES
WE WERE DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND SUDDENLY WE LOST ALL BRAKING ABILITY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH BARELY ANY BRAKE FUNCTION. WE WERE ON A BACK ROAD GOING OVER 50 MPH AND BARELY GOT THE VEHICLE STOPPED. WE GOT ADDITIONAL BRAKE FLUID AS THE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. WE REFILLED IT AND BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN. WITHIN ABOUT 3 MILES, ONCE AGAIN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AGAIN GIVING US VERY LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. WE WERE 30 MILES FROM THE NEAREST TOWN....WE BARELY MADE IT IN TO TOWN. OUR VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WITH A MECHANIC (WE ASKED FOR HIM TOP PROVIDER US PICTURES) AS WE ARE STRANDED OVER 300 MILES FROM HOME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
RANDOMLY THE HILL START ASSIST CONTROL ERROR WOULD COME UP. ADDITIONALLY, SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC ERROR WOULD COME UP AND THE TRUCK WOULD GO INTO SOME SORT OF LIMP MODE WITH NO ACCELERATION ALLOWED. FINALLY, THE TRUCK STARTED RUNNING REALLY ROUGH. ALL THESE THINGS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AND OR TURNING. I HAVE BEEN BROKEN DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY 4 SEPARATE TIMES NOW. EVERYTHING IS REALLY RANDOM AND CAN'T BE REPLICATED. IT'S DONE THIS ABOUT 10 TIMES NOW AND THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN THERE FOR OVER A WEEK WITH NO REMEDY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE, ELECTRICAL ISSUE OCCURS THAT LOCKS WINDOWS AND TURNS OFF AIR CONDITIONING. VEHICLE CABIN BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT VERY QUICKLY. FORD DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE ISSUE YET CONTINUALLY REOCCURS. NOT SAFE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE ISSUE CAN BE CORRECTED. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET REVEALED NUMEROUS SIMILAR ISSUES OCCURRING IN FORD TRUCKS.

I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY 'BRAKE FLUID LOW' LIGHT CAME ON AND A FEW MINUTES LATER I LOST ALL BRAKE POWER. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER, THEY DETERMINED THE BRAKE CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND THE BRAKE CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE ATTACHED THE DEALER INVOICE SHOWING THE REPAIRS, TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH TOTALED $1,068.52.

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS TRUCK EXPERIENCED SUDDEN AND COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ON FRIDAY 7/19/19. LUCKILY, THIS OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT, AND THE TRUCK ONLY HIT A CURB. OUR TRUCK WAS TOWED TO BOB DAVIDSON FORD IN PARKVILLE, MD FOR REPAIR. THEY DIAGNOSED FAILURE OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING ONTO AND DAMAGING THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS TRUCK HAS THE 3.5 LITER ECOBOOST ENGINE. FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER & BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURES FOR 2013 & 2014 F150'S WITH THE SAME ENGINE. WHY HAS THIS FAILURE OF BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS & BRAKE BOOSTERS NOT BEEN EXTENDED TO THE 2015 F-150'S WITH THE SAME ENGINE? THIS OBVIOUSLY SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE PREVENTED AND PAID FOR BY FORD.
